I just tried the rotozip with the circle cutter attachment and let's just say i can cut a better circle with my teeth.:mad: So i need a tool that can make a PERFECT circle. What should i use? I need to make the hole for my rl-i8 sub to drop in.

Thanks guys:)

hole saw, water jet, CNC machine... :p:

if you are on a budget, a jigsaw and a compass, and they dont have to be perfect, as long as they are covered

Me?

But seriously, I use a jigsaw for all my cutouts and I think I do a pretty darn good job. :)

i've used everything from the Jigsaw|Compass to JasperJig|Router including the RotoZip with it's circle jig.

All will work with patience and practice. The results are the same, the level of effort is different though.

router + stray piece of 1/4" mdf that just happens to be the width of the router

router and jasper jig = precision

jigsaw + me = good enough to not tell the difference when covered

Jigsaw is more fun because it takes more skill.

I can cut circles fine with a jigsaw, but I got a router and jig because it takes less time to cut and lay out.

Water jet? water + mdf = very bad :veryhapp:

I left a piece outside. The thing ended up being 1.5" thick with all the water it absorbed.

My hand isn't steady enough to use a jigsaw. I use the router & jig because it's easier, faster, and the results are consistent (just as long as I do it right the first time).
